Cute signatures for girls cell phone

Hello,
I will be asking for formal separation shortly. I want to make sure I’ve got my ducks in a row before pulling the trigger. We are still amicable and have been discussing this for a while (her idea) so the separation won’t be a total surprise. Hoping to get some direction from you guys… (37m, 37f, no kids)
Have already-
• Liquidated stocks/bonds and moved to personal savings
• Closed our joint credit card
• Removed her from my cell phone plan
• unloaded some shit locally to get a lil handful of cash
• dropped my retirement contributions to the minimum amount to get matching
• gathered statements for all accounts and titles for all assets
• have been consulting with lawyers all over town to get an understanding of the process after this and trying to decide which mediator to go with and which lawyer to keep in my back pocket if things get nasty.
Anything else I should do? Will prob drop the bomb on Monday.
Cheers -

I LOVED all of the responses I received on this post and promised to update it. I spent a lot of time going through the thousands of recommendations (and accusations), and here is the new list.
Just one disclaimer - I know some of these are old/stolen from other eras or cultures. It is simply a list of what we are hearing and using to annoy/irritate our younger people. Just this morning as I was dropping off my son, I yelled "have a skibidi rizz day!" He was not amused.

Hello reddit. Before the post starts I wish to clarify that I am no creep, I understand this situation is parasocial and one sided, but I just can't get her out of my head.
I've followed this streamer from my country for about 10 years now. I've always liked to tune in because she just has that bubbly personality and the looks that I would normally chase after (the stream is purely gameplay, nothing is sexualized). I've done some simple flirting, I compliment her often, but again as a "public figure" she just gives me the normal responses, a simple thank you or some emoticons.
I ended a relationship about a year ago and I've been feeling that dreaded loneliness and missing having someone, installed tinder but in 3 weeks I've gotten 2 matches, and both were bots promoting links. Uninstalled in the middle of april.
So last weekend I was in a gathering with the boys, and they insisted I installed tinder again and just keep giving it a try. The next day, after I got out of likes, I kept swiping left on people (very picky) and behold, my crush appears. I panic, my friend next to me, that also knows her, starts screaming "SWIPE RIGHT RIGHT NOW!!" and I said "I can't, I ran out of likes already, I'll just keep it here until I get likes again" and my friend pressed the Super Like button that prompted a purchase option, and I didn't even thought twice and just bought 3 and used 1 on her. It all happened in about half a second and we were both just looking at the phone is desbelief on what just happened.
Can't lie that I was expecting something, after 10 years, she knows that person is me, so after the soft flirting, the compliments, and now a Super Like on tinder, I thought that that was it, that was gonna be the start of something.
This was on saturday, 11th may, and still to this day (5 days after), we didn't match. Does she check her tinder regularly? idk. Did she swipe left? I also don't know. What I do know is that I've just had 5 infernal days of daydreaming with this girl that I just can't get out of my head.
About two days ago, I replied to a instastory from her, giving her a compliment, but once again, it was just the automatic/normal response, I thought that maybe she would realize that it was me, the dude that super liked her on tinder, but nothing.
I've been so hurt in all of this that I'm just thinking of asking her directly if she would be interested in meeting up, since I know she is single and actively looking for someone, maybe ask her out for a simple coffee.
Again, this is all very parasocial and one sided, I know this person for 10 years now, but she doesn't really know me, we saw each other once, and we talk like once every 2 months, and I don't want to sound like a creep or obsessed, but I just think that from what I know she could be THE ONE and all of this is eating me up inside.
Apreciate any help given <3

As said in the title, I've finally finished going through all the boys in TDL S3! Though I didn't aim for best ending or anything, I just wanted to see how it would go for each one. (I'm not sure if the photos will post, so apologies if this post will be wonky!) I thoroughly enjoyed this experience, so here's a silly happy rant :) (Hope I flaired this correctly! This is just really me rambling, but very happily lol)
WARNING: Very long! Will also contain spoilers!!

• ROUND 1: Chayun (Normal ending)

This was the VERY first Picka game I've ever played, so I went into this blindingly and didn't really aim for anyone or followed any guides. So as fate had willed, I got Chayun! Maybe that's just my personality projecting onto Seul, lol. And maybe that very first meeting influenced my decisions - I wonder, if I had the date with Gonghyun first, would I shoot for him instead?
Chayun is... SO so cute. There's something really mature and cool about him, you know he can take care of you, and you can't help but be charmed. He's not overly affectionate, but also unafraid to show his feelings. He doesn't play any games (unlike SOME people out there...) and is mostly honest.
My favorite thing about him is how much of a simp he is for Seul. This is the guy whose forbidden word was her name because of how much he said it. This is the guy who unknowingly broke another girl's heart because he can't stop mentioning Seul. Ugh. How do I get a Chayun?
I also don't know why and how, but even when I was aiming for the other guys (and following the guides), he STILL keeps choosing Seul. I thought it was just programmed for him to do so, but I've seen posts where he chose Eunchae, so...? Maybe I just never got over my first love and unconsciously made him feel like Seul still likes him. Ha!
Speaking of first loves...

• ROUND 2: Gonghyun (Bad ending)

SIGH. I originally was going for Sanho next (more details later), but in the last round, I went on the snowball date (?) with Gonghyun and felt SO bad for making him feel like I didn't even consider him. Also, my first date this time was with Gonghyun and I was SOOOO impressed with the whole Busan thing. So I went for him.
Unfortunately, I 1) didn't have enough gold for all the gifts and 2) couldn't keep up with the timing, so I spent less time with him I guess? I missed the Wicka date with him as well as the cocktail bar. But I won every game and even went on a last date with him (which I didn't get to do with Chayun), so I thought, maybe I'll get the normal ending!
WRONG! Fellas, don't go for someone whose first love is still in the picture. Or, if you do, make sure you have enough gold to control everything. EME!
Gonghyun is really considerate and nice, he gives off major "gwapo" vibes, and he would have ticked all the boxes for "green flag of the year". But he also gives off the vibe of someone I could never fall for completely, like if someone asked me for boyfriend recommendations I would mention him, but if someone asked me if I had a crush on him I'd say no.
Or maybe I'm still bitter over not being chosen. Oh well! I don't choose what doesn't choose me, so.

• ROUND 3: Sanho (Normal ending)

I have never been more enamored over a fictional character.
When I first encountered him during Chayun's route, my eyes went all O_O and I was like, "OMG, ATEEZ Choi San what are you doing here?!". That's literally the same name except for the "ho"! He's polite and mature and RELIABLE! Brains and brawn! Cute and younger-brother-like!
And while he's reliable, I want to take care of HIM instead of the other way around. He's consistently sweet, and while he seems innocent, there's a certain depth to how he speaks that shows his introspection. He's honest and earnest, and I really loved how formal he was lol he's definitely my pick for most charming TDL3 man.
My favorite part? Ironically, it was when I was on Chayun's route. I got Sanho for the snowball date, and at that time I was unsure over Chayun because he felt really cold to me. Sanho contrasted that perfectly by being so sweet and warm. "Warm as the sun," indeed.
Another favorite moment was when he carried Gonghyun during their ski trip! I wished there was a way for Seul to join their trip, but I guess that's predetermined. Oh, maybe I didn't really want Gonghyun... I wanted to BE Gonghyun....
Sanho's route was so lovely that I lowkey dreaded (/lh) the next and final one...

• ROUND 4: Seowoo (Best ending) (WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT?!?!?!?)

Sigh. SIGH. The biggest, longest sigh you will ever hear on earth.
At this point, I was getting sick of TDL3, so I decided to try out TDL1. Considering that Jooyul (who I wasn't aiming for in the beginning but eventually liked) and Seowoo were same-age friends with the main character, I thought, "ah this will be more easy-going".
I was wrong. This was the most annoying, most insufferable, and spiciest route. Also I got the bad ending for Jooyul, so I guess easy-going routes just aren't for me.
Seowoo... Like Jeewan said, our cranky boy. He's so in love, but he doesn't want to admit it. Feel free to correct me, but he's always strikes me as someone who loves so deeply that it scares him, that's why he's always pushing Seul away. The weird thing is that the more he does it, the more I keep wanting to choose him? Because I am SURE he likes Seul, he just has to be convinced that Seul will keep choosing him until the end. (Which Sanho also was, but he was more straightforward about it.)
I was slightly enamored with the whole thing about Eunchae. Like, of COURSE they'd have such an agreement. Before this, I was really rooting for the two of them because the pairing was so weird. In local terms, there's the OA (Eunchae) and the nonchalant (Seowoo).
But I am on his route, so he's mine this time, and he WILL get sick of me!!!
My favorite part was, well, everything. At least, all the dates. He's so annoying and endearing that I have to spend a few minutes ranting into the chat after it's been deactivated. Can the creators see the messages I sent? I apologize for all the swear words. Nakakabwiset naman kasi talaga yang si Kim Seowoo parang tanga!! I would be swearing like this throughout and then he sends a heart and BOOM TIKLOP.
I wish his ending had him returning to Seul's house, like what Chayun did in their NORMAL ending. I get that he's shy about the song, but maybe Seul's final decision could have convinced him that Seul is safe enough for him to fall completely for? Well... I guess this is what fanfiction is for. Heh!

• Additional thoughts

It's a shame the paths are all for heterosexual pairings. I would have loved going for all the girls - Jeewan was so cool, Eunchae never failed to make me smile, and Bohwa was such a darling!! Though, do we think she has special connections to the admin of the program? Weirdly timed messages, the girls date at her shop? Or maybe she's just too charming to turn down~
Sanho and Seowoo would be a funny ship, lol. Seowoo being his usual cranky, pakipot self, and Sanho surprising him by being all firm and assertive.
Chayun and Gonghyun... Our knights and nobles... An unlikely pairing, but they're so similar that they might work??
Gonghyun is freaking hilarious. He keeps choosing Seul when I DON'T pick him. Baliw.
I think I was meant to find this game, because the characteristics of my ideal type were found in each of the love interests, so every route was fun. I started with someone who can only look at me, and ended with someone who wrote a song about me - two things that will surely make my heart flutter in real life. I only just realized these things while playing, so I guess it was an eye-opener too!
Now, I will be taking a break from all things TDL until I save up enough gold to open a slot to save Seowoo's ending. I am too lazy to do the extra tasks and too poor to actually buy it. In the meantime, I'm playing Friends Booth and thinking of which boy to target next in TDL1. I want to try for Euntae, but I am so sad about Jooyul's outcome that I want to redo his route, and this time with the guide (I tried following my instinct, as with Chayun). Sigh! Maybe I'll just go with Doha for the funsies.

Vladimir Putin has landed in Beijing for a two-day state visit, where he was greeted by Chinese leader Xi Jinping with a red-carpet welcome and a full military band. The trip will build on their commitment to the "no limits" relationship they signed at the Winter Olympics in 2022, just before the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. As Russia becomes isolated from the West on the world stage, it has sought to boost trade in the East and elsewhere, helping prop up its economy in the face of sanctions.
Quote: "Relations between Russia and China are not opportunistic and not directed against anyone," Putin declared. "Our cooperation in international matters is one of the stabilizing factors in the international arena." Xi echoed the sentiment, adding that China will "work together to achieve the development and rejuvenation of our respective countries" and "to uphold equity and justice in the world."
Trade between the two nations has soared to record levels, rising 26% last year to $240B and hitting targets ahead of schedule. Russia has even overtaken Saudi Arabia as China's main oil supplier, while the latter sends back key commodities, vehicles and other consumer goods. Trade has also seen Russia's economy top expectations to expand by 3.6% in 2023, according to the IMF, despite Western efforts aimed at draining the Kremlin's war coffers.
Reaction? Wall Street Breakfast ran a survey last November, and again this week, on how the U.S. should manage its economic relationship with China. The biggest changes over the past six months showed that more subscribers have less faith in rapprochement and trade deals (24% to 15%), while a greater number believe decoupling and sanctions are the way to go (11% to 19%). It's noteworthy as Washington has recently threatened additional sanctions on Chinese banks and entities that handle Russian trade involving dual-use goods that can be used for both civilian and military purposes.

Soft CPI Thought the Fed was only data dependent? Guess again. Data-centric traders celebrated in style after April's Consumer Price Index increased by 0.3% from March, easing from the +0.4% pace seen in the previous three months. The print, which meant inflation is still running well above the 3% level on an annualized basis, helped push Wall Street indices to new record highs, with the S&P 500 (SP500) crossing 5,300 for the first time ever. Meanwhile, retail sales came in flat, while regional business activity cooled further, suggesting the Fed could ease monetary policy earlier than expected. (119 comments)
Secret stake It's 13F season, where hedge funds with at least $100M in assets under management reveal their holdings. The flurry of filings sheds light on what they bought and sold during the quarter, but investment managers can also make special requests to regulators to keep some of their stakes confidential. Insurance-focused Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) just revealed one of those positions, disclosing a prior $6.7B stake in Chubb (CB), with market participants sending the stock up 8% AH on Wednesday as some looked to copy the successful picks of Warren Buffett. Other 13F highlights include filings from Bill Ackman's Pershing Square, Michael Burry's Scion and David Tepper's Appaloosa. (33 comments)
Battle of the skies AT&T (T) is teaming up with AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) to bring satellite internet connectivity to cell phones. The news sent ASTS up 36% in premarket trading this morning, with the space-based broadband network deal set to last until 2030. Other telecom operators have also ventured into the market. T-Mobile has a similar deal with SpaceX (SPACE), while Verizon (VZ) previously partnered with Amazon's (AMZN) Project Kuiper for connectivity solutions. Apple (AAPL) has also been offering satellite-to-cellphone emergency services on its iPhones since 2022. (43 comments)

I couldn’t sleep last night.
I had been feeling anxious since evening. No particular reason sometimes it just happens.
At around 12.30 AM I came across a picture of me and my ex bf in my gallery.
Anxiety was through the roof now.
Oh god! How is he? What is he doing? Does he miss me? Has he found somebody else? What would I do if I hear from him or see him?
Look at his big eyes and how he smiles when he jokes. I suddenly remember how he smells and how he loved how I smelled.
I remember our college days. How did we even end? Weren’t we supposed to last forever? I loved him with every cell in my body why did we leave?
Then my mind walks in …….
Remember all the times he switched off his cell when you were dying to talk to him?
Remember how he never gave a hoot about communicating?
Remember how he Lied when he said that he was just friends with her?
Remember how he broke each and every promise he ever made?
Remember how you didn’t sleep and so many nights after that fight while he was out there chilling?
Remember crying sitting in a cafe looking at what he had become?
Remember how he always used to smoke and drink when he knew you hated it?
Remember feeling nothing when he touched you on the last day you saw him?
Remember crying till your eyes had no more tears left?
Remember feeling numb?
Don’t ever forget it and don’t fall back in this trap.
It’s been sometime now that we broke up.
Some days are bad I will agree. But look at all the other days that you have lived without him. Look at that all that you have become since he left.
Look at all the happy pictures and great accomplishments of your life after he is gone.
Look at how well you feel when you wake up, look how well you sleep.
No longer looking at phone waiting for his call or messages. No longer being on social media watching his every move.
No more trust issues. No more lying.
I know it feels like you would die without him but I assure you, you won’t. Just try to be on your own it’s tough but not impossible.
It’s just YOU now.
And trust me this is a blessing. Be your own hero and date your own damn self. Take yourself out on dates and do something that you love every single day.
Start working out and wake up with the sun.
Meditate. Breathe. Ground yourself.
Look within. Look deep within.
Look at all the places that needs your attention and try to release healing energies.
Let go of emotional burdens. He is gone. Let him be gone.
One day you and I are going to find someone again.
We will fall and rise in love again and hopefully this time it would last.
He was perfectly sure but there’s someone out there who is much much better for you and is going to treat you the way you deserve to be treated.
But until then, heal yourself and move ahead.
Don’t look back because that’s not where we are going :)
You have got this and this is going to get better I promise you :D
Just look at all that you are. Wow!

Every family vacation I’ve ever taken, I mean, hell, pretty much nearly every time I go out I am looking for a meet-cute type thing. My whole life, some sort of inkling that I could have a fun Chicken Soup for the Teenage Lover’s Soul story of my own if I just took the chance, but not once have I seen that sparkle in a stranger’s eye. No one to ever see me from across the room and go “That one” and put any sort of whimsical effort into play (much less just regular effort) and I know I am asking the universe for A LOT by complaining about this but it just bothers me ever seeing a women “fancy” someone in a movie. It just doesn’t seem like it happens. Women have so many choices these days why would any of them do anything other than wait for a guy who wants to put in 100% of the effort? Approach, be witty, be forward, but only at the right time, and also be their type. Like, cool, I get it. As a man I should appreciate “the hunt” But I guess the fact it’s such a struggle for me to even get to these conversations is proof I’m ugly and undeserving of these sort of whimsical women that pick their mates and actually do fun things to try and get them? Or, you know, maybe even give a smidge of a sign that they even want to be approached
Like, I post on r4r a lot and it has garnered me some attention through the years and once I was invited out to a group outting that evolved into a mini date with one of the goers, but while that was quite a magical night I was taken thru a tour of this woman’s life where she was just so excited to finally be single so she and her friends can start playing their games again. One of then she described as the “Wounded Doe” where girls will turn up the laughter near a dude one minute and then the girl that’s interested will then break off from the group and be totally vulnerable to talk to her. Like a whole thing where a whole group of girls are planning and feeling out the room so a dude and chick can talk. I tell ya, folks. The juxtaposition of my life versus this imaginary dude was stark. It angered me. I sit with this anger and have no idea what to do about it because therapy hasn’t helped me. The worst part is I know if I had someone then I wouldn’t even be bothered yet it’s so fucking hard to meet anyone these days and have a conversation go anywhere.

I go to a really Christian school and didn’t know any gay ppl irl for my whole life, untill now 😍 omg he’s my age and he’s so cute like 🫠 and he’s single like how tf did I get this lucky. I don’t wanna get my hopes up for anything just incase he doesn’t like me 😭😭😭 but I got his phone number at least 😍

Since January I've had this ongoing problem.
I have a samsung galaxy z flip 5.
I got the preorder in august and set it up with consumer cellular with an esim. It worked perfectly without incident until I moved in January. I have no cell reception at my new house- total deadzone. So I had to turn on wifi calling to recieve texts and calls. Okay, sure, no problem. But ever since turning on wifi calling, it's been down hill.
I am unable to send and receive large texts or pictures/videos. Anything MMS. However, at random it seems, certain files WILL go through to certain androids but I've yet to determine what the common trend is that allows those mms messages to send and receive.
So far CC customer support has had me:
-reset network
-reset APN
-install physical sim
-reset APN again
Every "solution" has triggered a handful of more problems. Its a nightmare. NOW, since installing the physical sim, I cannot use wifi calling. It won't turn on. I've tried resetting wifi settings, I've tried turning off the esim, i made the physical sim the primary, tried punching in the correct APN settings for consumer cellular again. My wifi is lightning fast, strong, no issues on that end. Wifi calling works using the esim, but the whole point of the physical sim, was to resolve the mms texts not recieving or sending that the esim was failing to do. I rely on wifi calling to recieve calls and texts. So I went from being only able to recieve small, NON-mms texts with wifi calling ON using the esim, to being unable to use wifi calling at ALL with the physical sim. What am I missing? I've called CC over 10 times. I've called samsung. No one has a single clue what the hell is going on. I'm losing my marbles. Every time I find what I'm certain will be the solution, it doesn't work and only creates even more problems.
A reddit user suggested I clear the cache and data for the wifi calling app, which I did, to resolve the physical sim not allowing wifi calling to turn on, amd it unfortunately did not work either. I've also already tried turning on airplane mode woth wifi on to force the physical sim to use wifi calling. Does not work.
To clarify, I don't care if I have to use the esim or the physical sim. All i want is to be able to use wifi calling at home to seemlessly send my texts, pics, videos and large texts again. I just don't understand why the phone worked beautifully (seriously I love this freakin phone) and then suddenly festures started dropping like flies the second wifi calling was toggled on.
Thoughts?
Ideas?
Anyone have a similar problem?
I'm also a millennial..grew up on phones and computers! by definition, I should have been able to figure this out on my own by now 😂

I just started dating this girl recently, we’re both 30 years old. We’re still very much in the getting to know each other stage before going steady.
I really like her a lot, and she knows that I do. She tells me often how she likes me a lot too.
Yesterday she posted a selfie on her IG story and I messaged her something I thought she would find cute. She then replied by asking me why I like her so much because she sucks as a human. I thought that was weird to say but I replied by telling her all the things I like about her and asked her why she thinks she’s a bad person and that I don’t she sucks at all.
She replied by telling me that she’s not as loving as she used to be and that the idea of love “icks” her, but that she thinks about me a lot and that she hopes things between us go somewhere.
I replied to her that she must have her reasons for feeling like that and that I hope things go somewhere between us too. She liked the message and that was the end of the convo. We haven’t spoken since
I don’t know why this conversation really strikes me as strange. It’s just making me wonder what her dating intentions are. Am I over thinking this? This conversation has been in my head ever since. I don’t want to ask her anything too weird because we have a weekend trip together coming up don’t want to cause any unnecessary discomfort or awkwardness.

Looking for a cheap but reliable service provider for an elderly user. We primarily want the watch for safety of they fall and like that EMS, emergency contacts, etc. are all alerted automatically. This person won't use 98% of the functions on the phone. We were would skip the cell version and just connect to their phone but they often leave that on the house so it might be out of range more often than not.
From what I've seen many plans this is an add-on to a family plan. They're on Mint so this isn't an option. We've seen Better Roaming which I'm pretty sure was Truphone and that seems to offer stand alone plans for cheap but can't find much info on user experience.
One last question: if someone has an AW WITHOUT cell service and the phone is out of range in an emergency will the device still be able to call 911?

when i was younger my family was happy, i guess. I was adopted by my grandparents officially when i was younger and i had been living with them my entire life. I grew up with sensory disorder and ADHD. My real mother wasn't really in my life until about 4 years ago. I never knew my real dad and i have never met him but i always knew my real mom. She used to live with me and my grandparents who i call 'mom and dad' because they took care of me most of my life. She always lived outside in an apartment my dad made for her. She then moved away. She moved a lot and never was really in my life completely. By the time I was adopted by my grandparents she was legally my sibling. She always was having boyfriends and brought some of them over for family holidays. I was bullied growing up since I was in first grade for no reason i knew about. All i knew was i was the school freak. When i was little i hardly ate much as well but i was still called 'fat'. Whenever i sung i was laughed at. I was actually good at singing and i loved to sing when I was little as well as dance. My legally sister (aka real mother) tells me now and days i was the bully growing up and i was sexual as a little kid when i wasn't. growing up i also had anger issues and nobody knew why. My mom (aka grandmother who adopted me) told me it because i was mad at my sister. my mental health started going downhill quickly when i was about starting middle the next year. i was getting bullied a lot more and my 'friend' was mean to me for no reason at all.i was at a christian private school at that time. I got blamed for put stick notes on other sticky notes in a prize container when i didn't. i was friends with everyone in that class. only one of them believed me. but when the others were told that i didnt do it they were acting sorry. one my best friend's at that time little brother had a crush on me. when i went to her house to hang out her brother was acting like a perve a little bit and was asking sexual stuff.i never liked school at all because the city and town i lived in didnt do crap when i was bullied and the principles were told. And around this time my sister came to live in the town i live right now.she gotten married. But she was toxic to everyone. Her husband's friends lived with them as roommates and my sister was abusive to them. when she was babysitting me during that time she would stab one of them in the arm with a medicine syringe you take medicine from.this kept going till that roommate left and then the next one was gone. my sister's husband had passed away when i was in middle school starting the first year of it. my sister was then toxic to me a lot. and since she was my real mom at one point i called her 'mom' all the time till she was toxic to me.she also always told me she couldnt have children. apparently, there was another before me and it was a miscarriage. i will mention this, my sister is known in my family to be a liar about everything from getting gifts for us, receiving it, not stealing, and most of the time children. About every 2 years she claims to be 'pregnant' with a kid but apparently, they all end up dying after they are born or are miscarriages. i was the only kid she had ever.and plus she always blamed me for stealing her stuff even her gun and hiding it under my bed at my mom's when i cant even put a phone under there cause the bed is really low to the ground. now onto my dad (my grandpa who adopted me with my grandma).me and my dad were really close when i was growing up.i was his little princess. That stopped happening after i came out as bisexual and genderfluid 4 years ago. And let me tell you my dad was born in the 50's so he grew up being raciest and homophobic. I was the only child he raised as his own. my sister was his stepdaughter and during that time her real dad never let my dad adopt her as his own.i kept telling my dad about things i liked that we loved together growing up. my dad was toxic to me in my middle school years up until now. He would verbally abuse me and threaten me. he even hit me before in front of my mom and she told the police that he never did. The police were called a lot cause of my anger and yelling. The police where i live never believe the kids about anything saying they dont have any rights like to clothes, a bed, sometimes to speak, to things they buy with their own money, and one even told me i didn't have a right to my own body.i was being bullied every more in school so i was getting depressed and mentally unstable. And my dad was always getting up in my face and i pushed him back sometimes to make sure he didn't hurt me and he just told me i 'assaulted' him and he was going to get me put in jail for defending myself as well a lot of the time. I had been to a mental hospital where i live 8 times. Some of them because i was mentally unstable, and 2 because i was forced for no reason. For my 3 or 5 time there my dad took me to the hospital to get 'diagnosed' but he lied.i had just gotten out of another mental hospital 2 days before for being depressed and i was there for 2 weeks so i needed to get adjusted to being out of there.and when we were at the hospital the doctor came in after talking to my dad and told me 'your being sent to *name of mental hospital i was at 8 times* for sewerslidal (not gonna say the actual word) thoughts'. and i was confused at first and i told him i was having those thoughts at all. and then he told me i was being sent there anyways and then left the room. Then my dad came in and said this directly at me, 'this is what happens when you dont go to school'. i was shocked and upset about this.he lied to the doctor and i was sent to that mental hospital again for it.i never forgave him for that.i was also sent to a behavior facility twice before. one for anger and the other for SH. neither times did it work.i was an SHing person a lot so i had different ways to hide it. like hoodies, long sleeve tee shirts finally, longer shorts, gloves, and short sleeved shirts that covered my shoulders. right now im in high school and i guess my dad is trying to rekindle our relationship because he is that old already. He is nicer now but about 2 months ago he was a jerk. my mom didnt listen to my feelings during these times so i never talked to her about feelings but when she wanted to and i tried to tell her she always interuppeted me and never let me talk and told me to shut up. my sister had moved in my dad's house recently because she bought it because he retired. my dad is planning on moving to my mom's place with me.and now here is an old relationship i need to talk about badly because my sister says i agreed to most of it when i didnt. it was my last year of middle school when it happened. i was already at a different school. I was still bullied but i could handled it a bit better there. my first boyfriend broke up with me 2 months after we got together and i was in 7th grade at that point when we broke up.i had just moved to that school about 2 months before we started dating.the reason he broke up with me was because 'he didnt feel love'.love is an emotion. you cant just not feel it right.i was touch starved and loved starved during that time so the summer after the broke up i was really mentally unstable and SH.i was taken to the mental hospital again. And when i came back to school after 2 months of being in the behavior facility for the second time so it was novemeber of my last year of middle school.about the end of November i was dating my guy best friend at that time.i didnt except what would happen after.he neglected me a lot when we saw each other at school during lunch even if we sat next to each other, was toxic and mad at me where i cried during that and wanted to feel pain, never stood up for me, never cared about how i felt or when i SH but pretended he did, and lastly he was obsessed with me during this time.threatening to hurt people. The first time i went to his house he got really touchy and then the second time he took that one thing a girl will never get back in her life no matter what.i was really desperate for love during that time but i didnt want to do that..he convinced me though. And then at school during lunch in the cafeteria while we were sitting with our friends at lunch he would touch me badly and threaten to do it more if i didnt eat or would do it anyway.i didnt eat much back then cause i was trying to lose weight, was having an eating disorder where i got sick every time i even at at least 2/4 of my meal. I didnt tell anyone this until last summer.i was still with him at the beginning of summer till my current boyfriend started talking to me on roblox after years of not talking because he moved while i was in 4th grade.he was a good friend. my current boyfriend told me what my ex was doing wrong at that time so i did the right thing and broke up with my ex.but my ex did scare me badly. He threatened to kill someone for me. i was terrified at that. He also had a spilt personality he would talk to me with a lot of the time. Then after a month of me breaking up with him my current boyfriend and me got together. He was a little toxic at first but he got better and was really nice to me. but we are in a long distance relationship. We talk a lot on discord and do video calls when we can.i was at 2 different public school this year.neither of them cared about what was happening to me so i started online school.i didnt go to either of them cause i was still bullied i couldnt handle it.and then when i started online school the teachers for that school accused me of not doing my work when i did them days in advance.i was doing really good but if i got most of the questions right on the quiz i still failed it.i would get 90% out of the question right and still get an f on the quiz.i started failing those classes and i was stressed with the video meetings cause there would be one right after another.i didnt get to pick my electives at all because the day i got the papers to see which ones i wanted they already picked them for me.and my dad was being a jerk the entire time as well as my sister so i was getting to a point of relaspe but didnt. im still kinda on that point but not that much.i dont go to therapy or a medication doctor anymore because the medication doctor kept telling me to lose weight when i was trying to, told my parents to send me to a children's home because i was not going to school because of the bullying and my regular doctor i had been seeing since i was a baby said the same because i was 'fakeing' being sick.i wasnt sick though but i was having an eating disorder still during that time to the point i was throwing up everything in my body every time i ate more than 6 bites of food.even the foods that were easy to eat i couldnt eat.and the reason i dont go to therapy is because all the ones i went to as a kid fired us for no reason and then a family counselor did the same thing because i was being rude.i was rude at all but i was pissed during that time cause i never got to talk and tell my side of the story and my family kept saying that raising my voice volume just a small bit was yelling and they still say that and my sister does the same with the voice volume but they dont say she is yelling when she is.if you guys have any of advice to help with any of this thank you.i have been wanting to vent for a long time but i didnt have a way to until now.

[First] [Previous] [Next]
I was at a disadvantage before, looking around in unknown territory, but here? This is my house. My country. My library! I have walked around these halls so many times that I have a pretty good mental map of where everything is. Considering the most requested academic tomes are under the protection of the Librarian, I go investigate the shelves on the first floor, where you find mostly reference books.

All this confidence I managed to build up disappears the instant I notice there’s a group of students in the lodges to the side of the hall, just minding their own business. My throat dries up, my knees shake a little bit.

Saints damn it, why aren’t you all on vacation!?

And they are sitting right on my way, between me and the shelves. I am sure the symbol has to be on the shelves…

“Time to turn tail and run, like always.”

“You can do it. Take a deep breath, look straight onwards and walk!”

Taking her advice, I do my best to not look at ANYTHING and just go straight as an ant to the shelves.

“Wait. What if any of them say hi? Oh no. Uhm. Take a quick look! But make it super, super quick!”

Damn it.

My eyes slowly turn to the left as I am walking. Are they looking at me? Did they look at me? WILL they look at me? They don’t seem to even notice me. Should I call for their attention? Should I say hi? I don’t even know them, that would be weird. But what if I do know them and I just don’t remember? There’s lots of law students around, maybe they are law students? I can’t see their books from this distance, maybe I need glasses. Would glasses make me look unassuming? I wish people didn’t look at me…

Eventually I reach the shelves without exchanging a single word with these people. I really, really hope I didn’t look like a nervous wreck while walking by, but I guess there isn’t much I can do about that now, can I? Ugh, I can barely focus as I start looking on the shelf itself, trying to find anything out of the ordinary…

“You’re nervous when there’s a lot of people, and you’re nervous when there’s few people. What will it take for you to be happy about something, huh!? Tiresome bitch…”

I sigh loudly. I left my S.O.S. at home, so I can’t really get rid of these voices tonight… I’ll have to brave them.

“It will be a hard time… but you can do it.”

Taking a deep breath, I continue trying to focus on finding that damn ‘golden symbol’ around the shelves, even taking out a few suspiciously out of place books, just to check if the symbol could be carved on the back of the shelf or something…

Nothing.

I spend a good long hour checking each shelf on the first floor as methodically as my body allows… before I know it, I have given up on everything and am sitting on a bean couch at the main hall, letting my eyes close slowly…

… When I open them again, I practically jump out of my chair.

Did I just fall asleep!?

“Oh boy.”

I pick up my phone to check… It's 2 in the morning.

“Oh boy! Who could have guessed things would go wrong, huh?”

I can still feel the sleepiness in my limbs, my eyelids feel so heavy. Saints, help your poor servant!

The lights feel so vibrant here, so annoying and white. I can practically hear them buzz… but then, I notice something else. The smell of decent coffee, recently brewed. I look around, quickly finding the librarian at her desk, serving cups of coffee to the group I saw… I think of going over and taking one but that would probably imply conversation. And I am not ready for conversation! I—

“Oi! You finally woke up!” The librarian catches me instantly with a knowing smirk. “Want a cuppa?”

I freeze. For a moment I think: ‘hey, let’s pretend I didn’t hear her!’, but I don’t have my headphones on and I made eye contact. I am trapped, TRAPPED.

“M-Mhm.” I manage to whimper, nodding my head quickly.

“Then come over, don’t be shy. We’re all night owls here.”

There is a sense of community there that’s quite alluring, but the curious looks of that group of students really feel like cold daggers on my chest. Still, I gather all my courage and robotically walk over to the group, taking a styrofoam cup, and then watching the woman fill it up slowly with coffee as black as my soul. Just like I like it… just with a hint of sugar, though.

“So you finally came around again. I was wondering what happened to you.” The old lady looked at me, knowingly.

“You… you recognize me?” I can’t help but feel a mixture of happiness and abject horror mounting on my back.

“My child, I recognize every single person who comes to my library! I know them all, believe it or not! Including these rascals over here.”

The others laughed. I just looked at my coffee while mixing a teaspoon of sugar in it. She’s probably joking, right? I mean… there’s no way she actually memorizes every visitor, right?

“Maybe she’s a witch.”

Knowing what I know now? I wouldn’t be surprised. I just take a sip of my coffee.

“You’re not here to study for the special tests, are you?” The lady again read me like a saints’ damned book. “You’re looking for something special.”

“It’s nothing that ominous.” I quickly cover. “I am just looking for a particular book, but I am not sure where I could find it in the library.”

“Why not ask for help? I am right here, precisely for that!” The Librarian puffed up her chest. “If I don’t get anything to do, I get bored.”

“Ah, well, you see…” I start getting nervous again. I can’t just tell her the truth! What if I slip and this woman turns out to be a cloak testing me? Or worse, a sleeper! I am quite sure the whole ‘Secret of magic’ is a very serious matter! I could get her and myself in a big pickle!

The woman seems to notice my distress… and instead of trying to reassure me, the damn crone just goes and says:

“Is it poooorn you’re after, boy?~”

Saints help me.

The others are laughing and looking at me all smiley, why!? Why must this lady put me in a situation like this!?

“T-There’s the internet for stuff like that!” I blurt without thinking. “I mean! Ah! Damn it!”

More laughs. At this point my face must be lighting up red and radiating hotter than active uranium.

“I. Can’t. It’s a symbol!”

“A symbol?” One of the other students tilted his head with curiosity. “What kind of symbol? Are we talking chemical or arcane?”

“Nerd spotted. You’re among comrades here, breathe easy.”

It’s hard to breathe easy when people are actively laughing at me, saints damn it!

“It… symbolizes gold.” I finally relented. “I am not sure which one of the many, many interpretations it could be. I thought of the alchemical symbol for gold, or a Sun, who knows…”

“That’s a little vague.” The student said, frowning a little bit and rubbing the back of his neck. “The symbol is in the book? Like, on the cover?”

What am I even supposed to answer to that!?

“I. Think?”

“Well.” The Librarian recovers the reigns of the conversation with a grin. “If that thing you are looking for isn’t here? It may be a literature tome. You know, on the second floor.”

“Y-Yeah…” I sigh. This whole conversation has just been so stressful.

“Well! It could be the Golden Ratio!” One of the girls says. “You know the Golden Ratio?”

“Isn’t that the whole shell inside a rectangle thing?” I blink.

“Yeah! They use the helenian letter ‘phi’ to represent it.”

The girl is nice enough to draw it for me…

Phi
I stare at the symbol on the paper for a moment. That’s… actually useful. And it does make sense! It could be this! Suddenly inspired, I stand right up and finish what’s left from my coffee in one gulp, not even caring that it burns my damn throat as I do so.

“Okay, this works. Thank you!” Without even feeling the anxiety attack me again, I bow my head and turn around to go right for the stairs!


When Tav had turned around and moved out, the Leader of the Coven looked at her young apprentice with a frown, shaking her finger slowly at the girl.

“You shouldn’t be so obvious with your hints, young girl.” The woman shook her head softly. “We could have had fun with her for at least another hour!”

“I didn’t feel like being cruel today.” The apprentice said with a sleepy grin, while some of the others ruffled her hair and called her a ‘softie’. “The Bastard needs a way to learn! And it would be sad to see the Overseer waiting for another night…”


I rush past the empty reception desk on the second floor, joging without even caring about the ‘No Running’ rule as I go head first into the wooden shelves of the literature section. And it doesn’t even take me that many attempts to finally see something: a symbol carved on the wooden side of one of the shelves.

Phi. Lower case. Small enough to not be disruptive, but big enough to be noticeable.

My eyes widen, and I immediately approach the symbol with awe invading my body. I don’t even dare to touch it at first, that’s how big my excitement is! Whatever does this mean!? Is this whole building the Elysium? Or just the second floor? Isn’t this place way too public for what they mean to do?

Finally giving up on trying to be cautious, I just touch the symbol. For a moment nothing happens, and I feel the panic starting to take over again.

“Trust the process, maybe it takes a moment!”

I keep my finger pressed on the carved symbol for a moment, taking slow, deep breaths as I try to keep myself from going into a saints damned anxiety attack. But then, something does happen. Octarine, that strange colour, starts filtering from my very veins and into the symbol, filling in the carving before flowing on the air like a river of vibrant purple-green. It advances in front of my eyes, dancing and spiraling before flowing deeper into the library.

“What…?”

“What are you waiting for!?”

“Follow it!”

I don’t have to tell myself twice! My legs don’t have the energy to keep running, but the colour is not flowing super fast, so I can just walk behind it until it reaches an empty wall on the deepest side of the second floor. I put my hand against it and push slightly, this time trying to cause the flow myself! My excitement knows no bounds when the colours flow from my forearm to my palm, and then spread on the wall like vines growing in all directions.

“Idiot! What if someone can see you!?”

Biting my lower lip, I quickly turn around. No one followed me, good! I can focus again on the wall, or in this case the lack of it: where there was a wall now there’s an entrance, a black hole just waiting for me to jump in. With a sigh, I decide to ignore my anxieties and just go into the darkness, being quickly surrounded by it as the wall quickly appears again behind me.

It takes a moment for my eyes to get used to the room, but when they do the way is clear: a spiral stairway going up.

“More stairs… why do people here love their stairs!?”

With a frustrated grumble, I take a step on the stairs, only for them to start moving on their own. Huh. Now that’s convenient! I just let them take me higher and higher, without even questioning how they move without mechanisms or electricity. Magic is just Like That™.

It doesn’t take long until the light hits me: a faint, gentle blue light, like a beautiful night sky. My observation proves right on the money, for what I find on top of the stairway is a tremendous planetarium: a dome of darkness with distant white lights showing the spectacle of the stars right above us.

There are some tables and chairs around, some bookshelves too… and sitting on one of them, was the specter of someone I know. The figure of a certain book vendor.

Miss Pelafina gently brushed some of her dyed black hair behind her ear to look at me with a mocking grin.

“Took you long enough, didn’t it? Kid.”

I just started dating this girl recently, we’re both 30 years old. We’re still very much in the getting to know each other stage before going steady.
I really like her a lot, and she knows that I do. She tells me often how she likes me a lot too.
Yesterday she posted a selfie on her IG story and I messaged her something I thought she would find cute. She then replied by asking me why I like her so much because she sucks as a human. I thought that was weird to say but I replied by telling her all the things I like about her and asked her why she thinks she’s a bad person and that I don’t she sucks at all.
She replied by telling me that she’s not as loving as she used to be and that the idea of love “icks” her, but that she thinks about me a lot and that she hopes things between us go somewhere.
I replied to her that she must have her reasons for feeling like that and that I hope things go somewhere between us too. She liked the message and that was the end of the convo. We haven’t spoken since
I don’t know why this conversation really strikes me as strange. It’s just making me wonder what her dating intentions are. Am I over thinking this? This conversation has been in my head ever since. I don’t want to ask her anything too weird because we have a weekend trip together coming up don’t want to cause any unnecessary discomfort or awkwardness.

like im male and bro i do more cute things that girls often do/want like getting flowers for them etc i often see girls on tiktok wishing that their bf did this and that to her while i would actually do that if someone just showed intrest in me :( im always doing everything for them then end up getting hurt they barely even say thank you the last time i did something cute to my crush on valentines day i gave her kinder bueno and she just awkwardly hugged me it was very obvious that i was in love with her but i guess she didn't find me attractive im often getting laughed at for my looks which hurts ngl ehh like when will i be happy? love is the only thing that helps my depression ik its bad for it to be that way but its true i take medication and it doesnt really work but atleast i believe that everyday im getting closer to getting gf i hope so

My cell is currently off. It's a bill for me, 2 teens and husband. It's 184 and I have 45 of it so in need of 140. Long story short my husband and I have been looking for work since September. We moved to a very small town and could not find work anywhere. Nothing. I never even thought that could be a thing. I left my family in our town 1200 miles away (they are coming when school gets out end of May) so I could work and make money to get us back on our feet. I've worked one week and paid the bills at the house but I'm short on cell phone money. I hate not having service when I'm so far from my family. I can text through apps when in wifi but I can't use the WiFi at work. Any help is appreciated. I am able to provide cell bill and bank account to show this scenario. Thank you in advance.

It took me a while to pick up on the specific pattern, but on a relisten I'm certain that they're using specific audio cues to indicate the "source" for the audio of each individual scene. So far there seem to be four:

1. computer boot noises (clear audio)

This indicates audio recorded by a workstation; frequently hear rolling chair noises as characters move around

1. mechanical whirring (distant audio)

This is for other parts of the OIAR, recorded via security cameras, usually the break room

1. dialing sounds (audio often muffled because pockets/bags)

Audio recorded via cell phone; heard in places outside the OIAR or where there are no cameras or workstations (restaurant scene, Magnus Institute, Colin's office)

1. tape recorder clicks

Self-explanatory?
Anyway, love it. Excellent and subtle environmental editing choices. This show is great.

AITA the asshole if I don't accept the LJBF offer of this girl who rejected me a year ago? She is really insisting we become friends again.
We became really close friends after three years of working for a social media giant as content moderators. Since I was her senior, I helped her out a lot with the policies, and she also in turn helped me become more sociable as I am a high functioning autistic person, and she has social anxiety disorder, since she doesn't have money, I supported her by paying for her acidity therapies and SAD therapies, where she borrowed some money from me.
I thought our feelings are mutual and I confessed she said no, and I moved away from her for about a week, and she left messages saying a LJBF spiel, which I said no to a lot, because she likes this new guy.
She has called me multiple times to try and become friends again after this bad rejection and falling out because she spoke badly of me to her friends and when I heard that they were laughing at me, calling me names like stalker, maniac, and ugly, I blocked her from all of my social media pages.
I found out that our close friends were influencing her decision to date that other fellow, who was applying for the position I had and they made up stories of me harassing her, She even said she vomits at the sight of me, and gets sick when she hears my name seriously. I never talked to them again, and when our boss chose the guy she likes for promotion, I left the job in disgust because I was actually the one contributing to our account with awards and insights for four years.
Then today, She then became really apologetic and wanted to repair the damage, but I don't want to be friends and develop any feelings for her again. The company also gave me another job offer but I don't want to return there anymore due to bad memories, and people backstabbing me.
I gave her an e-book of the poems she asked me for her birthday and blocked her again and all our mutual friends, because she contacts me through them. I also made mention that this would be the last time I'm ever speaking with her.
She made a new insta and initiated a follow but i blocked it. She left a voicemail crying about this and she wants to see me now, but I don't want to be reminded of her because I feel that she's plotting something again and I trust my instincts. I felt used, but I can't stand the sight of a loved one crying over the phone, since it triggers me and it has never happened before. So WIBTA if I told her to kick rocks and never contact this time because of what they did?

I just joined reddit so I hope this is the correct community for this.
Basically, long story short my girlfriend and I were talking about this friend of ours on Whatsapp, and 2 days ago the friend received a screenshot of my chat from my own perspective from someone else, who received it from someone else, and so on.
Now, I haven't shared my password to anyone except 2 trustable people, my girlfriend and my brother. They're as dumbfounded as I am. The screenshot didn't show the date of the conversation, but it was not faked, it was 100% real. The screenshot is not from my girl's pov, its from mine, and my gallery also doesn't have any screenshots of that conversation or in my recently deleted section. I have an iPhone 14 pro, if that helps. I'd like to know what to do and how to solve this since I am very worried.
